Hi sdrio,No buzz whatsoever from mine. Seems to be well screwed together.
As Phil_b points out, there's not much there to vibrate, but even so, what there is is solid.
Only vibration issue I have noticed is that my hands felt a little numb after a long high speed run (60 miles at around 80mph), just for a minute or two, but that's pretty normal I think.
It's nice to hear that the FZ-07 is up to 60 lbs. lighter than the 2012 650R. Do you feel the FZ-07 has better performance than your 2012 650R?I owned a 2012 Ninja 650r after the last makeover and now own an FZ-07. The bikes feel and handle similar, but you will notice less vibration from the FZ/MT-07. It starts out with less buzz. The turn signals and license bracket would vibrate on my 650r just idling. The buzz does creep in a higher speeds with the FZ-07, but it is not as noticeable as with the Ninja 650r. The main thing I did not like about the 650r was that it felt a little top heavy and boat-like. Once underway it was OK, but I thought it was over-weight. The Yamaha is at least 40 lbs. lighter...maybe as much as 60 lbs. lighter. I see conflicting info on the curb weight of the Ninja 650r. Your buzz will be less with the FZ/MT-07, but these bikes are not smooth like the super sports with 4 cylinders.
Well, given the nature of the bike, you're always going to get a bit of buffeting, but it wasn't unrideable.Hi sdrio,
As you said, you drove the FZ-07 for 60 miles at 80 mph. Was turbulence thrashing you around at that speed? Do you think the design of the bike cuts through the turbulence well? Thanks.
